Capital.com And ADGM Academy Collaborate To Advance Financial Literacy And Develop Future-Ready Emirati Talent

Capital.com and ADGM Academy have agreed to work together to boost financial literacy in the UAE. Their Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aims to enhance digital investment education and prepare Emirati talent for future challenges. The initiative, starting in 2026, aligns with the UAE's long-term economic goals.

The collaboration will support the UAE National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS) 2026–2030. This strategy was developed by the Central Bank of the UAE with input from the World Bank, OECD, Arab Monetary Fund, and over 70 stakeholders. It aims to improve financial inclusion across the nation.

Capital.com will offer 100 internships over five years as part of this initiative. These opportunities will be available within Capital.com and through partner organisations in the UAE's financial sector. This approach provides emerging talent with diverse learning environments.

Since its founding, Capital.com has focused on investor education. The partnership will use its extensive training resources to create specialised programmes and new learning tools. These efforts align with We the UAE 2031 and UAE Centennial 2071 visions.

The agreement outlines several cooperation areas, including a joint working group for training programme design and delivery. They will also share research, publish findings, and co-host seminars on fintech, regulation, trading, and financial management.

Regular training needs analyses will ensure initiatives match industry demand and workforce priorities. This ensures that programmes remain relevant and effective in meeting current market needs.

Empowering Future Generations

"Financial education drives inclusion, competitiveness and long-term prosperity," Viktor Prokopenya, Founder of Capital.com, said. "By working with ADGM Academy, we are creating meaningful opportunities for people to gain the skills and confidence needed to navigate an increasingly digital economy."

Mansoor Jaffar, CEO of ADGM Academy and Research Center, stated: "ADGM Academy is dedicated to equipping the UAE’s workforce with the knowledge and capabilities required to support the nation’s financial future." He emphasised that their partnership with Capital.com allows them to expand programmes for students and professionals.

A Vision for Financial Innovation

This strategic partnership combines Capital.com's digital trading expertise with ADGM Academy's educational role. It aims to strengthen Abu Dhabi's position as a global hub for financial innovation while empowering Emiratis with essential skills for a knowledge-driven economy.

The collaboration reflects a commitment to supporting NFIS goals and broader UAE ambitions. Both organisations look forward to preparing a new generation of Emiratis for future finance roles.
